Dear Geoggies from 303,


LATEST! (12 August 2120hrs)

The wiki has been locked to stop all editing. Mr Yang and myself will be grading both the individual and group tasks. Feedback will be provided in Term 3 Week 10 before you go off for your September break! I have taken a quick look at the group tasks and I must say that I can see some genuine effort put in and I hope this wiki will benefit everyone and value add to your learning experience. Good job!

Mr Chan


In your respective groups, you are suppose to complete ONE group task and ONE individual task. The following guiding questions will help you to gain a better understanding on "Intensity of Food Production". You have been grouped together to work as a team. As much as we would always like to work with our closer friends, please remember that it is equally important to develop a good working relationship with other members of the class too. Team leaders, please ensure a fair distribution of work in your team and that everyone contributes. As mentioned, this wiki serves as a learning site for the class. The extent of your learning depends on the effort you put into this assignment and we expect full commitment from everyone.

Please feel free to drop us a mail at pyssmrchan@gmail.com if you require any assistance. Meanwhile, we look forward to reading your posts on the discussion threads.

Enjoy!

Mr Chan and Mr Yang
